They'll do it anyway.... And the gardai will continue to do nothing about it because it'd cause more harm to the horse and drivers.
The horses will continue to be abused and killed.

💔💔💔ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN AND DEVASTATED 💔💔💔💔
Last night, our My Lovely Vintage Edenderry and My Lovely Hoofs & Boots shop in Edenderry was broken into and completely wrecked.💔💔💔💔💔
Someone smashed their way through the front window, broke windows at the back and went on to destroy so much inside. Items were smashed, things that we had treasured and used as displays for years were ruined, and the whole place was left in an awful state.
💔💔💔💔
There is no money in this shop. It is a CHARITY SHOP. Every single penny we raise goes towards helping us run My Lovely Animal Horse Rescue and care for the animals who depend on us.
We honestly cannot understand why someone would do this. We are already working so hard, taking one step forward and what feels like twenty steps backwards. This is another devastating blow for our little rescue.💔💔💔
We want to say a massive thank you to An Garda Síochána for responding, catching the person responsible, removing him from the premises and, most importantly, staying with us until the premises was secured and boarded up. We are genuinely grateful for their help and support.
❤️💔
Our thoughts are also with our wonderful shop manager and all our volunteers. We are so, so sorry that you have had to witness this and deal with the aftermath. We know how much love, time and effort you put into the shop 💔💔
To everyone in Edenderry who has sent messages and well wishes, thank you. Your kindness means more than you know.💔💔
Sadly, our charity shop will remain CLOSED for the foreseeable future while we try to repair the damage and get everything back up and running. We will keep everyone updated.💔
If you can donate, no matter how big or small, please consider supporting My Lovely Horse Rescue at this incredibly difficult time.💔💔
Our animals still need us. The bills don't stop, the feed doesn't stop, and the care doesn't stop.💔💔
We are heartbroken, we are angry, and today we are picking ourselves up yet again.💔💔

There’s a special place in hell for people who surrender senior dogs after having spent their entire lives with them. Seriously, fuck you.
5 months for STABBING HIS DOG 8 TIMES!
How have we got so little regard for the brutal abuse of an innocent animal?

Ireland has the shameful title as the puppy farm capital of Europe, with more than 122,000 dogs registered last year.
No ban on surgical artificial insemination.
No cap on the size of puppy farms.
We need to ban this industrial farming of dogs.

#Felix had to be pts after he was stolen a few days ago by two people. At least he passed with his family & he made it home. What are we going to do about this out of control pet theft when there are no consequences.
How much do animal charaties get again?
😡😡😡😡€102 million 😡😡😡❤️❤️
That’s an extraordinary amount of public money being spent on horse and greyhound racing, while animal rescues across Ireland are struggling to survive.💔💔
Those same rescues are taking in the horses and greyhounds who have been discarded, neglected and traumatised. They are paying for veterinary care, rehabilitation, food, shelter and the chance of a second life, often relying on donations and volunteers just to keep going.💔
And yet, our Government continues to put enormous public funding into an industry built around racing and betting.😡😡😡
How can this be right?
While rescues are fighting every single day to repair the damage done to these animals, where is the same commitment to their welfare?
This isn’t just about money. It’s about priorities. It’s about what kind of country we want Ireland to be.
Animals cannot speak for themselves. We have to speak for them.💔💔😡😡😡😡

Why would you do this to an elderly dog?
😡💔 THEY LEFT HER TO DIE. SO UNBELIEVABLY CRUEL 😡😡💔💔
This is Daisy.
She is 16 years old, skin and bone, with serious lung problems, and yesterday we found out just how badly she had been failed.💔💔💔
Daisy was found abandoned on an old lane near a disused farmyard in Longford. She was alone, starving and desperately weak.💔💔
When her microchip was checked, it led to a local owner who sadly died around 10 years ago. The remaining family are now in the UK.
So someone knows what happened to Daisy😡😡.
Someone knows how this beautiful old girl ended up being left alone on an old farm with no one 💔💔😡😡
An Garda Síochána in Longford have been contacted and would like to find out too.
But right now, our focus is Daisy. ❤️
Our vet believes that Daisy may only have a short time left. It could be a week. It could be two weeks. It could be a month or a little more…
And you know what?
That is enough time to show her what love feels like.💔❤️💔
Daisy's poor little body may be exhausted, but yesterday her tail still wagged.❤️
We will keep her at My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue, our vets are in and out most days.
Daisy will have a warm bed.
She will have food.
She will have medication and veterinary care.
She will have gentle hands.
She will have company.
And most importantly…
She will know she is LOVED ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No more being alone.
No more wondering where her next meal will come from.
No more being forgotten.
Whatever time Daisy has left, we are going to make it count. ❤️❤️❤️
Please, if you can, donate towards Daisy's care. Even a few euro will help us give this old lady the comfort she deserves.
If you can share her story. You never know who might recognise Daisy or know what happened to her.
Daisy, you are safe now.
You are loved.
And we are all rooting for you. ❤️
Please help us give Daisy the peaceful, loving ending she deserves.
Donate if you can, we would be so grateful ❤️

How does a horse makes its way form France to Ireland to being left in a ditch to die?
If there's A chip there's surely some travel documentation that can be found. Hopefully the gardai can find something.
💔💔💔 Rest in peace, beautiful Jamie. 💔💔💔
With the heaviest of hearts, we have to share the devastating news that the poor horse we rescued today in Tipperary has passed away💔💔💔💔
We called him Jamie. We hoped. We prayed. We fought for him. We wanted so desperately to give this poor boy the chance at life that he deserved💔💔
But after what appears to have been a lifetime of suffering, his little body simply couldn't fight anymore💔😡
We don't know everything that happened to Jamie. We know he began his life in France, ended up here in Ireland, and somehow found himself in an unimaginable condition. No animal should ever have to endure what this poor boy endured. We are heartbroken. We are angry. And we are absolutely sickened.😡😡😡
When will we, as a country, truly recognise that animals matter? They feel pain. They feel fear. They deserve kindness, protection and a voice.💔😡
Jamie deserved so much more than this.
Tonight, we ask you to remember his name. Remember Jamie. May he finally be free from pain and suffering, and may he rest peacefully in a place far kinder than the world he was forced to endure💔😡
And please, if you can, help us continue our work. Every rescue costs money, veterinary treatment, transport, feed, rehabilitation and everything these beautiful animals need to survive.

We cannot save them without your support💔❤️
Run free, beautiful boy. You mattered. We will remember you. We will continue to fight 💔💔💔💔💔💔

The Irish people have our utmost respect. ❤️
And, of course, huge respect to Heimir Hallgrímsson, Ireland’s national team manager. 🤝🇵🇸
Heimir Hallgrimsson, the Republic of Ireland manager, is facing backlash from the Israel Football Association (IFA) ahead of their Nations League clash after he said "we’re playing against genocide."
The IFA accused him of "stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy."

Yet another own goal form the council
Replying to @meanderingtripe
ANswers:
Everyone's getting equal funding - 100k per authority of those who wanted it, seven authorities.
Parade? One applicant for 50k funding, they say (it was Lumen, obvs) & they say the independent panel said they'd give them 40k, they saay Lumen turned it down.

Imagine what it is like to be a #rescuer in this country?It is like putting out fires when so many are fire starters & the gov gives most of the 'H2o' to ppl with no fires to put out.Rescuers are treated like 'cinderellas' whilst the gov gets into bed with the 'ugly sisters'
